A report is current on the streets
that the Ohio Valley Railroad will
complete its line TO Princeton, effect
some arrangements with the L. & N.
by which 1t can use the l., A. &. I.
track from Princeton to this point and
that one Or the other of the roads,
probably both, acting together, will
build together from here south. AN
other rumor is that The Ohio Valley
will certainly build from Princeton
through Hopkinaville and this place
to Nashville. We can't say what
truth there is In either Of these rus
mors. The Ohio Valley people move
in mysterious ways. but haven't yet
performed any wonders. Tobacco

aud the express charges were $43 35.
The sheep averaged l64 pounds, the

Of wool each. Mr.. King has one of
the finest ilocksl IN the State, which
he advertises and readily finds sale
for his surplus stock. He sold a fine
buck to Mr.. J. II. Williams, Of Penn

his flock of Cotswolds, weighs 2z5I
pounds, has taken $3.50 worth Of
premiums, produced q pounds or
wool this spring which was sold for
$4.73 and Mr.. King has refused $25

show his stock in the various rings
Of the Driving Park Fair this fall.
